Full Service Broadband Architecture (pdf)

Gives users convenient access to any broadband service, from any device, anywhere. It gives operators new cost-effective growth opportunities and lower cost of ownership, based on open-standard solutions.

Full Service Broadband with GPON (pdf)

GPON plays a key role in delivering high bandwidth to residential end users and network nodes with high capacity requirements. GPON will be a key enabler to deliver a wide range of services to any type of end user.

WIRELESS NETWORKS FOR IN-BUILDING ENVIRONMENTS (pdf)

In-building solutions are becoming increasingly spread, as user demands for everywhere coverage is matched by the opportunity for mobile operators to offer improved services and increase traffic revenues.

INNOVATIONS IN WCDMA (pdf)

WCDMA – its evolution from spread spectrum concepts and explaining why it is not just an extension of IS-95.

TRAFFIC INSPECTION FOR VISIBILITY, CONTROL AND NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES (pdf)

Peer-to-peer applications can easily consume a disproportionate amount of bandwidth. Traffic control based on packet inspection and heuristic analysis is therefore indispensable. However, the features can also be used to introduce more profitable service plans and to form partnerships with third-party content providers.
